The question at hand, regarding Protestant theological education, is the methodology with which to effectively teach courses related to spiritual formation. There are two ideologies. One maintains the premise that spirituality could be the pedagogical product of traditional theological disciplines, while the other contention is that spiritual formation demands its own discipline. The focus of this book is to examine both theories and then, ultimately, to advance the ideology of the second by producing two courses-in two contextually different formats-and then evaluating the results. What the reader will find fascinating are the direct dialogues and experiential settings fully described within the work. The detail is simply amazing. This is a powerful text for Protestant theological education on both the undergraduate and graduate levels, but could also become an invaluable tool for the local church setting interested in spiritual growth. Complete spiritual exercises are presented, as well as a weekend retreat.
